I haven't visited the hot springs around Austin but I have spent some time in the area and have enjoyed it very much. One place that will be quiet and is a great place to visit is Berlin-ichthyosaur State Park. March of this year:

Whatever you end up doing, be sure to bring a camera and let us know what you discover

We also liked I think it was called Titus Canyon, pretty cool ghost town, drive. But, lotss of folks and it seems to be the easiest canyon drive in a rental. Lots of people.
Anyway, have fun..

Spencer hotspring between Austin and Eureka NV is a great place to stop. Several maintained springs in stock tanks on top of small hills with a great view. Good places to camp. One of my favorite places although I have not been there for several years. There are others further off the pavement hotsprings in the area. Look at Hotsprings of the west book. Spencers is not so secret anymore. Have a good soak.I uploaded USGS hot springs data for nevada - here you can see springs in a 50 mile radius from Austin:
